Hey yall! I needed a way to cap my own phone use so downloaded one of the many "do pushups to unlock your phone apps". I loved it! The only thing I didn't like was that I had to set my phone up to track myself doing the pushups/situps etc. That part was super annoying and embarrassing when people would see me doing pushups at a gas station lol. The app I built isn't for everyone, but instead of tracking you do the workout, it's the same idea just based on the honor system - no camera tracking! I have loved using it the past few months and maybe some of y'all will enjoy it as well!ios/android supported!

Could you build this?
Yes The app deliberately avoids computer vision or camera tracking in favor of the honor system, relying simply on native OS screen time blocking APIs and basic counter/streak tracking.
